Abstract: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been shown to be an affordable treatment for osteoarthritis of the hip and uses patient’s relief of pain, improved function and significant enhancement in quality of life. The propose of this review was to evaluate the two procedures for Total hip arthroplasty (THA) which are the anterior and posterior bilateral hip arthroplasties, by reviewing the advantage and disadvantage of each method, and demonstrate different outcomes of each procedure through based evidence human trails. We conducted a literature search of Medline (PubMed), the Cochrane Library, and CINAHL. We used exploded MeSH terms and key words to generate sets for the following themes: Total Hip Arthroplasty and Surgical Approach. We then used the Boolean term “AND” to find their intersection. No limits were used, including no language limits. This basic approach was modified as necessary to search each electronic database. The posterior method stays a popular direct exposure for THA. The advantages of the posterior method include surgeon familiarity, excellent direct exposure of the thigh, and conservation of the gluteus medius and minimus. Nevertheless, a high incidence of posterior dislocation has been reported with this direct exposure by many authors. The increased incidence of dislocation has actually been credited to the division of the posterior hip pill and external rotators and acetabular component malposition. In some RCTs Patients in the direct anterior group attained some, however not all, functional turning points previously than the patients in the posterior group.
Keywords: Total hip arthroplasty, posterior bilateral hip arthroplasties.
